Vitasoy Review + Giveaway

I have chosen to live a mostly dairy free existence for as long as I can remember for simple reasons:

Consuming dairy products gives me stomach cramps and pain as I have a general intolerance to these foods.

My Mum tells me I refused to eat most dairy products when I was a toddler. And yes this means I don’t eat cheese, yoghurt, ice cream or drink plain milk. I can tolerate a dash of milk in my coffee but that’s about it. I did however always cook and bake with cow’s milk until I started experimenting with alternatives a couple of years ago.

I have never looked back, and now the majority of my recipes are dairy free.

The Vitasoy Flagship range produces soymilks that are a fantastic alternative to traditional dairy products.

Vitasoy soymilk has a range of benefits including:

It is GM free

The Vitasoy Organic range uses 100% Australian grown organic soybeans

It contains no soy isolate protein powder

It contains essential nutrients, amino acids and is high in protein

It is low GI

It is suitable for vegetarians

Why should you avoid Soy Isolate Protein (SPI)?

SPI is derived from chemically stripping soybeans, which are also usually genetically modified. Be careful when buying cheaper protein powders and always check the ingredients to ensure that the product does not contain SPI. It is basically a more artificial product and I don’t believe that it is the most ideal thing to put into your body. On the other hand, another great reason why you should choose Vitasoy’s organic range in your daily diet, is that it is organic, and only uses whole soybeans instead of SPI.

It is incredibly simple and easy to introduce soymilk to your everyday lifestyle and cooking. I’ve even switched to soymilk in my morning coffee and discovered it makes a pretty delicious Soy Latte.

The latest overnight (literally) breakfast sensation is Overnight Oats. These are a delicious way to start your day and will keep you full and satisfied until lunch time.

What’s even better is that no baking is required!
